I think something messed up with the link you posted. Shows me a Lemmy.world page with nothing on it rather than what I assume is this:
https://playnite.link/
I need to be reachable when I'm out and about but I get it. I've thought about getting a flip phone and just using my smartphone on WiFi at home if I need to but that's about as far as I'd go I think.
Thats true of most products that companies make I think, but they made it to serve a certain segment of the market and I think given how excited people were to see something like this, doesnt seem like it was a bad idea.
And after watching the teardown, I don't really see what you mean about reparability being bad. The video is even titled "Excellent Reparability: Steam Machine tear-down and Accessing RAM & SSD". Seems to come apart just fine. You can replace a part if it breaks and put it back together.
I will say that proprietary parts aren't great, I'd rather have a cpu, ram, and motherboard I can take out and replace individually but for what this is designed to be, that being, a "console", I'd say its much better than a PlayStation or Xbox in terms of reparability. Definitely more akin to a laptop than a PC in my opinion. And certainly not perfect, but I'm glad that Valve gave it a try and gave more options for people to game on. Not only that, might even get more people on Linux if they're shown a good experience.
I think you may be looking at it wrong. Its less of a "pc" in the traditional sense and more of a console that you can tinker with/repair. Thats more what demographic its trying to appeal to.
I dont disagree that its overpriced, but that's all computer parts or PC's right now. Its certainly not perfect, but I don't think its a step backwards at all. I think having more options for gamers to game on their couch is a good thing.
I'm only just now feeling like my life is on track and I'm almost 30.
Meanwhile my partners friends both have a nice house, great jobs, and just had a baby. Everyone's path is different man.
My advice is just do your best and enjoy the ride. Count all the good things in your life. Take a minute, put down your phone and just be with your thoughts.
Depends on where you live. If you can find a large enough building and renovate maybe. A pre existing building with all the machines already there would likely cost much more.
Running a business isnt really simple though. Lots of things to take into account. Taxes, overhead, inventory, maintenance, customer service, and thats just off the top of my head.
Without it, I wouldn't be able to run addictive keys on Linux. I paid for the software back when I used Windows and since I'm able to use addictive keys on Linux, haven't bothered trying to find an alternative.
That said, its the only use case I've had with bottles that just works. Other programs ive tried are more hit or miss.
Not a feature of GrapheneOS but I'm not a fan of the default launcher. If you want a better one, I like lawnchair. Its on fdroid and is much better IMO.
Also the Articicons pack is great too if you like the look of icons being all the same.
I'm still messing around with self hosting llm, rn ive settled on using lumo from proton if I use an llm.
When I have run llm, I used koboldcpp. Works pretty well, depends on what you are doing and what models you use. Forget which models ive been using off the top of my head
Ikr? As much as its good to know this shit, I really hate being informed sometimes.
This has inspired me to draw my own cat. Imma do that
Man the more I learn about KDE, the more I love it.
I'd very much like every truck out there to have the headlights pointed away from my eyes and be less bright thanks.
I'm very close to putting a mirror over my rearview window to shine the light back at them.

Idk about anybody else but I just use my notes app on my phone for my shopping list.

Agreed. The internet is a utility at this point. Its required for many things included services the government runs already.
Yea it was a very short window for development, 18 months: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas

Thank you for giving them a life where they could live as long as they did. Wishing you the best.
Bottles.

Ive had issues with this as well. Still have had no joy.
What DVD drive are you using? Ive read the hardware is also important, but I'm no expert.
Good. Unions should be a more standard practice, especially these days. Fuck these big companies.
I gave Niagara a try and wasnt really for me. Nova was also my jam for a long time.
